The Indiana Pacers offered the Minnesota Timberwolves the 10th pick in the upcoming NBA draft for former Syracuse star Jonny Flynn, according to the St. Paul Pioneer-Press. The T'Wolves turned them down.

From the report:

"They called last week," (Minnesota president of basketball operations David) Kahn said of the Pacers. "We turned it down in a second."

Flynn, the No. 6 overall pick in the 2009 draft, averaged 13.5 points, 4.4 assists and 2.9 turnovers while starting 81 games for the Wolves in his rookie season. He sat out the season finale with a hip injury.

Passing on the Pacers' offer is an indication that the Wolves are holding firm with plans to make Flynn the team's point guard of the future.

Kahn and Wolves coach Kurt Rambis remained supportive of Flynn last season despite Flynn's occasional struggles in running Rambis' triangle offense. Flynn made the NBA all-rookie team and was fifth in scoring among the league's first-year players.
